End of Impact Wrestling results

Overall, another solid episode of Impact Wrestling although I would’ve preferred seeing more knockouts actions. Seemed like the one match we got lasted only three minutes long and I’ve been having concern over recent knockout matches. Seems as though they’ve been a couple minutes long and I don’t want to see them become like some companies and their women’s division so hopefully this picks back up after the BFG series. A concern I had was TNA Wrestling not recognizing Bellator Fighting early in the programming as 13 fighters where there including Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion Michael Chandler who I bumped into via tweeting. He was eagerly awaiting for hima nd his comrades to get acknowledged as I tweeted to Dixie and TNA to plug them or fear backlash from Bellator fans and sure enough a few minutes later we saw them get a 10 second plug. Poorly bad timing as this goes in one ear and out the other as there was only less than 30 minutes left in the show and folks were amped up for the Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Hardy match. Bellator fighters should’ve got acknowledgement throughout the night as J.B and/or So Cal Val, Christy Hemme could’ve interviewed different fighters for reactions of what they where seeing and tie it in to King Mo who’s getting ready to make his TNA debut in October. Huge missed opportunity here by TNA that should’ve been executed better which just solidifies in my mind TNA Wrestling’s consistent struggle in promoting and advertising. Also thought it was shocking that once again for at least the second or third week in a row no Robert Roode as Austin Aries continues to not wrestle. Still a very solid episode this week as Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles and Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Hardy were the best matches of the night. This week I give Impact Wrestling a 7/10.
